The code you pasted probably won't work. $currentuserid=AuthComponent::user('id'); // Use $this->Auth->user('id') instead.
In the find you are using the user_id field as a condition but only returning the Teacher.id field - do the Teacher.id and Teacher.user_id fields contain the same value? $teacherid=$this->Teacher->find('first',array( 'conditions' => array('Teacher.user_id' => $currentuserid), 'fields' => array('Teacher.id'), )); if ( $teacherid==$id ){.........//never matches when it should What's the point of doing a find using a known condition and checking that the result matches the condition you passed? If you want the Teacher.id value by searching in the Teacher.user_id field you should: $teacherId = $this->Teacher->field('id, array('Teacher.user_id' => $currentUserId)); if (empty($teacherId) { // The current user does not have a row in the teachers table } On 3 Jun 2014, at 23:48, jagguy <and...@itfutures.edu.au> wrote: > This is for a view? > I know the book and have tried this already for a controller. > > > > > P: (03) 9866 7737 > E: i...@itfutures.edu.au > A: Suite 5 / Level 1 / 424 St Kilda Rd, Melbourne, 3004 > > > > Connect with us: > > > > Please consider the environment before printing this email. > > This e-mail and any attachments to it (the "Communication") is, unless > otherwise stated, confidential, may contain copyright material and is for > the use only of the intended recipient.
